blahblahblah 2 Posted September 28, 2013 Question for fans who are calling for the removal of Chris Hughton.If you trust McNallys'' judgement, why not let him (and the board) decide if and when the time is right to replace the manager ? It''s not like they''ve put a foot wrong since letting go of Bryan Gunn.If things start to look like a lost cause, I''m sure that those in charge will act. In the mean time, why create further pressure for a team that might be struggling, but that you want to see succeed ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 28, 2013 Yeah, they should have got the Glock out of the boardroom cabinet and held it to his head.There''s more to running a club than first team affairs - look at Hughton''s effect on the youth. Whether that''s enough or not is another matter, but Hughton is clearly the most "club" focused manager that we''ve had in a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantiaci Canary 610 Posted September 29, 2013 It would be interesting to know what McNally thinks of 5 league wins in 26 matches. You are right though McNally WILL press the ejector button when/if it is most appropriate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brighton Yellow 0 Posted September 29, 2013 Yep massive trust in McNally. Whenever I have heard him speak either to the media or in person he comes across as one a highly intelligent, professional and driven individual. If he knew that there was a manager out there that would guarantee better results than Hughton then I am sure he would have appointed him by now. McNally however is not a moron and realises that we are in a very good position at the moment under Hughton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hahahaha, yes a very good position indeed - bottom four with four points from 5 matches with Stoke, Chelsea and Arsenal next up! 5 wins from the last 27, yes we are in a truly great position with MR Hughton in charge.

Redders Right Foot 22 Posted September 29, 2013 or... from our last 7 league games we have won 3, drawn one, lost three. 10 points from 7 is respectable in this league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 11,178 Posted September 29, 2013 "ironstan""blahblahblah"It''s not like they''ve put a foot wrong since letting go of Bryan Gunn. apart from letting lambert goI think Lambert wanted to go. You can''t stop someone as overly ambitious as him. If you can get your head around the fact that we were a stepping stone you may be able to move on.

I get the impression there was little that could be done to keep him here and working effectively. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are right though McNally WILL press the ejector button when/if it is most appropriate.[/quote]Would you be equally as interested to know what he thinks of four wins from our last ten league games? Or doesn''t that more recent form fit as well with your agenda?Of course, d''oh; I''ve remembered now. We were ''lucky'' with most of those results, because that never happens with any other clubs; only us. And, of course, the ''lucky'' results don''t count as much as the rest.You can pick whichever sequence of results best suits your argument (as I have done above) but what matters is the number of points earned come the end of the season. There are a lot of ups and downs to come. There is a fair chance we will beat one or two of the big teams along the way, and we will lose again to some teams we might expect to beat. Do you know what, though; the same goes for every other team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
